[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 73680, member: 2450"] That's completely ridiculous that your doctor believes that testing estradiol level is unnecessary. I don't know if elevated estradiol levels is the culprit of your decreased sex drive/function, but of course you should get that tested!!! Get it checked regardless. Better to be safe than sorry, and you need a good general picture of the T vs. E ratios (you can "get away" with elevated E levels as long as your T levels are by ratio pretty high too). I have gone through something similar to you, and it's totally frustrating. I can tell you from the T aspect, shorter acting esters make you more horny more often than the longer ones, due to the rapid conversion to DHT. If you are on 100 mg/weekly, I imagine you are injecting either cypionate or enanthate, those are longer esters. Propionate and especially the topicals are really good for immediate DHT conversion. There are obviously more aspects, but that's just my two cents. Honestly, it does not sound like your doctor specializes in men's health. It might be worthwhile for you to look into a private clinic, such as Defy Medical that a lot of forum members here are a part of and are happy with. TRT is basically for life, so it may be a good idea to do it with a doctor/clinic that will work with your needs without deeming one blood test or another "unnecessary". [/QUOTE]
